Answer:

Yes the car was speeding

Step-by-step explanation:

s = √(30fd) where

s is the speed of the car in mph
f is the coefficient of friction for the road
d is the length in feet of the skid marks

Substitute d = 41.5 and f = 0.8 into the equation:

s = √(30 x 0.8 x 41.5)

⇒ s = √(996)

⇒ s = 31.55946768...

Therefore, for these data, the speed of the car was 31.56 mph (to the nearest hundredth)

The speed limit was 30 mph, therefore the car was speeding as 31.56 > 30

Using the rules of cosines, the measure of the turn between the second and third legs of the race is given by

$\cos^{-1}\left( \frac{180^2+160^2-140^2}{2\times180\times160} \right)=\cos^{-1}\left( \frac{32,400+26,600-19,600}{57,600} \right) \\ \\ =\cos^{-1}\left( \frac{39,400}{57,600} \right)=\cos^{-1}(0.6840)\approx47^o$
